Remote control Windows Vista/7

[laptox]

hi,

I want tremote control a win 7 laptop via a vista pc. They are both in the same workgroup - and connected via wifi.

As both 'os' are home premuim is seems they lack what is built into the business (or non home) editions.

I don't want to do much - I just want to have a view of what my son is upto on his laptop !

Any ideas how to do this or what software to use ?

Some sort of VNC software - such as UltraVNC

Try Teamviewer http://teamviewer.com, it works great and is very simple, I've used it for years on many systems running Windows XP, Vista and 7. And it's free for non-commercial use.

Also if you want to keep an eye on what your son is doing online and set limitations, try K9 Web Protection http://www1.k9webprotection.com/, also free.
